South Bend

Cobourg, Ontario

South Bend also had a sister company in Cobourg, Ontario that produced a fairly short run of plugs according to how often the Cobourg, South Bend boxes surface. Most of the boxes that have been found (if they had lures in them), contained plugs with glass eyes. This would perhaps date the boxes to the 30's and 40's. Please shoot me a photo of a South Bend box with the Cobourg name on it if you find one.
